EASTENDERS actress Laila Morse has shocked fans by sharing a rare photo with her VERY famous brother on Instagram.

The 76-year-old star only just launched her social media account, and this was her sixth post since signing up last month.

She shared two throwback snaps to a family holiday in Las Vegas, with the group stood in front of a private jet in one of the pics.

Laila is cuddled up next to her little brother Gary Oldman – the 63-year-old Oscar winner, who has appeared in hit films such as Leon and The Dark Knight as well as the Harry Potter franchise.

She captioned the post: “Throwback to our trip to Las Vegas #lasvegas #palmsprings #family”, tagging Gary’s wife Gisele Schmidt in the photos.

Gary is keeping a low profile in the pics, dressed casually in simple trousers and a black jumper – adding sunglasses in the first pic and a hat in the second.

Laila’s followers were surprised to see the Hollywood A-lister pop up on their feeds, and shared their amazement in the comments.

One wrote: “ I forgot Gary was your brother!”

Another echoed: “I still think it’s crazy how Gary Oldman is your brother

Laila and Gary are incredibly close, and previously delighted fans with photos together in 2018, when they spent Christmas together.

In fact, Laila’s stage name is a tribute to her sibling – with the EastEnders favourite’s real moniker Maureen Oldman.

Italian actress Isabella Rossellini suggested the name Laila Morse when she was dating Gary, with it an anagram of “mia sorella” – which translates to “my sister” in Italian.
